2003 Chevy Blazer - Did I buy a lemon? by sunshower19

I purchased a used 2003 Chevy Blazer from a Ford dealer in August. I had it looked over before buying it and it was fine. No major issues. I purchased an extended warranty just to be safe.
 
Then the problems started...
 
The first repair was about a month ago - one of the ball joints went bad. That repair was covered on the warranty.
 
Now it's in the shop for a broken transfer case control module (I have a 4x4).
 
I've never had any issues with my 1993 S-10 pick-up and that's why I was comfortable buying a Blazer. Are these items normal wear and tear - or did I get myself into a load of repairs??

Scan the posts and there are many things that occur on these usually mileage related. All 4wds had bad lower ball joints and some 4wd problems easily fixable.

I noticed this post is a year old, but I felt the need to share. I have an 2003 blazer and loved it up till now. Its sucking my will to live, it appears to be one thing after another and the extended warranty is up in june. I had all ball joints replaced, gas tank censor replaced twice, and my check engine light has gone off twice after disengaging 4 wd, but according to the dealer garage there's nothing wrong with it. Also whole vehicle shakes starting 60mph and worsens there after.
 
I'm so frustrated with the onslot of issues and treatment by the dealer that I serously doubt I'd ever purchase a chevy product again. Though it does have 73,500 miles on it, I take care of my vehicle as far as oil changes every 3,000 miles, they changed out the transmission fluid this past year, and both oil and air filters are new. So I'm a little concerned to the recent turn of events. Hopefully I can have the issues straightened out as I can't afford a new vehicle anytime soon :*(

I just bought an 03 blazer 4wheel drive and I have the same problems with serious vibrations over 60mph. What did you find out about what caused the vibrations in your vehicle?

I need help. I have a 2003 blazer ZR2 that I bought with 83,000 miles on it. I have replaced ball joints and rotors and pads and bought new tires. does anyone have an idea of what the problem may be? The vibrations seems to consume the whole vehicle--coming from the front.
